more  tracks are raising the minimum bet on certain  wagers like WPS,exacta  and some of the  multi leg stuff what do you other players  think?

the higher the minimum-the higher the median payoff due to the dime players would be reluctant to play so many combinations if the min was higher

unlike the casino industry which makes a large percentage of profits off penny slot players---the tracks don't make much off these dime and 20 cent players-so they are trying to encourage them to bet more

i firmly believe the min should be at least $1 on every pool to eliminate the dreamers and the ALL players-or make them put their big boy pants on and play those combinations for a dollar

Makes no sense to me. If they want to bet any amount, they can, but if you raise it to levels that some
can't/won't = loss of potential handle. Like the $5 late doubles. $3 late p3. One again if people want to
bet that or more , they can. By setting those higher minimums they run off potential betters. Like you said
Sweet, they are in no position to turn away bets. Of course , that's IF they actually care.
